This reminds me of another picture I saw with a kid hiding behind a Marine in the middle of a town in Iraq when something was going down.
I wonder why you never see pictures like this on the evening news?

It was after a suicide bomber hit a market. The soldier went toward the explosion instead of away from it. Amazing. I don't know if he's ever been identified.

It takes some major balls to override the "preserve yourself" instinct humans have, and God only knows how many US military personnel did that overriding in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The majority of the men and women in our armed forces behave with integrity and honor on a day in and day out basis in the face of some really bad things.
It pisses me off that instead of seeing this side of our armed forces regularly, the media chooses to blow out of proportion the number of soldiers who do harm back home, the ones who rob people or kill spouses, etc.

You can go here and read the citations for all the Silver Stars awarded to our troops during the Global War on Terror.
<i>The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the Silver Star Medal (Posthumously) to Alwyn C. Cashe, Sergeant First Class, U.S. Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving with the 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division, during combat operations in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, on 17 October 2005, in Iraq. Sergeant First Class Cashe was drenched in fuel after an IED blast ignited the Bradley Fighting Vehicle's fuel cell, during a patrol in Samarra, Iraq. After the vehicle came to a stop and erupted in flames, he helped the driver out of the hatch and extinguished his flames. In the back of the Bradley were six more soldiers and a translator. As flames engulfed the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, without regard for his personal safety, Sergeant First Class Cashe rushed to the back of the vehicle, reached into the hot flames and started to pull out his Soldiers. The flames spread to his fuel-soaked uniform and spread quickly over his body. Despite terrible pain, Sergeant First Class Cashe placed one injured soldier on the ground and returned to the burning vehicle to retrieve other burning soldiers, all the while, he was himself still on fire. Sergeant First Class Cashe is credited with saving the lives of six soldiers, evacuating them despite his own injuries and severe burns. He died of his wounds on November 8, 2006.</i>

On parade or in the grave
With medals pinned and glory flags unfurled
The humble serviceman by scores
Packs the caissons, Guards the doors
Sails sea and sky across the troubled world
Comrades in arms who heard the call
And stepped across that line for all
Knowing well that fate might call their name
They crossed that sword mark in the dust
For freedoms sake and God they trust
And did it not for fortunes gold or fame
So on Remembrance Day give thanks
To veterans past and current ranks
And Praise Eternal God that they were there
Oh quiet heroes, every one
Without your hand, naught would be won
Pray our acclaim, the purest badge you wear

An Army paratrooper from my area was killed in Afghanistan last week and was laid to rest yesterday. Through emails and the local paper, the funeral procession route was published and people invited to come out and line the route to honor this young hero. I went, and was so glad to see that hundreds, if not thousands of people did just that. Thank God there are still a lot of people who appreciate the sacrifices made by our military men and women and their families.
Posted by: Miss Fluffy McNutter at March 14, 2010 03:06 PM (xMSXs)
Greatest regret of my life is that I never served. When I came of age in the post-Viet Nam Carter era, the military was being downsized, and was pitched as just another career choice; patriotism? gratitude for our blessings? Not so much. I regret that I was to immature to see through it.
That's my biggest regret too. My family has a strong military history and the one time I visited a Navy recruiter I was turned away because I had asthma. A Marine buddy of mine told me that I could get in with some sort of letter from my Congressman but I never pursued it and I really wish I did.
Whatever. At least I can support our guys and gals serving.

I attended a funeral of a Iraq Vet 3 years ago and cried like a baby, I didn't know anyone there nor him, just thought it was the thing to do after reading it in the paper, won't do that anymore.

If the parades are held, a lotta people will come; that's been proven many times recently.
The problem in the Vietnam Era was that those parades were never held.

95 The problem in the Vietnam Era was that those parades were never held.
As a kid I remember my dad, a Navy vet, being so angry at the politicians, but especially angry at the media (especially Cronkite) in how they screwed over the servicemen. He was livid at how Viet Nam vets were treated upon returning home.
Our local paper covered the funeral yesterday. They mentioned several groups and attendees, but failed to mention that our Congressman flew back from D.C. to attend this young man's service. His office had also cut through some red tape so that the family's non-US citizen relatives living outside the country could attend the funeral. But even in our predominantly red district the local rag is liberal. If they can't say something bad about our Congressman, they will say nothing. And that is bullshit, because constituents need to know that there are politicians who actually care. Fuck the media.

On the contrary. My wife went to high school with him (Skyline High, Oakland, CA) and he was a nice guy then. And he still is: during the filming of one of the Dan Brown movies, he halted filming in a piazza in central Rome because the film crew was between a bride and the church in which she was about to be wed. He personally escorted her across the piazza.
In fact, I am sure that it's precisely because he's such a nice guy that he doesn't have the capacity to recognize Imperial Japan as every bit as evil as Nazi Germany. I am also sure his perceptions have been skewed by repeatedly hearing the history of the internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War. There was a large degree of racism bound up in that policy and how it was carried out, but that has absolutely no bearing on whether the Pacific War was driven by American racism. It wasn't: it was driven by the attack on Pearl Harbor and the simultaneous attacks on American bases in the Pacific, which drove home the fact that Imperial Japan's ambitions posed an existential threat to the United States.

Do you know why the Commies in Hollywood were so ineffective in promoting world Revolution? It's because they were working as writers and producers and directors in a system that, for all its deadline-driven pressure, still provided them with all the money, liquor, women and drugs they could dream of. They would insert a couple of lines about big bosses or standing up for the little guy into a script and tell their Soviet contacts that was as much Revolution as they could get past the system, and then they would console themselves at CPUSA meetings that they were true Revolutionaries who were doing the very best they could.

...I am also sure his perceptions have been skewed by repeatedly hearing the history of the internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War. There was a large degree of racism bound up in that policy and how it was carried out,...
Sure,we have all heard about the horrors of being a 'Japanese-American' during WWII - Other than Tokyo Rose, ever wonder what happened to the 'American-Japanese' in WWII?
Unlike the US, you can be assured that Japan did not unlawfully distinguish between enemy POWs, be they combatant or non-combatant, they all got the 'death-march' treatment.

Not all. Some were sent to Unit 731 and subjected to medical experimentation.

Don't say?
For the record - Unlike the 'detention camps' in the US, Japan provided superior medical attention for foreign nationals under its care in WWII.

Bitch of it is of course that GE can fund as many ridiculous anti-American movies as it wants and doesn't have to care one shit whether they make a profit or even make the money back or not, they have so much capital lying around. Thanks to that capitalism thing they hate.

Phuc Valley of the Wolves, Rendition, Syriana, all that shiite. Play these images for two hours, and you'll get better box office.
The smug pricks in those movies aren't fit to lick the soles of these guys' boots. Even if it would give them a big old stiffy to do it.

Thanks for a great start to the week, all.

"HONOR." Awesome.
Isn't one of the goals nowadays to teach that level of honor to other countries' soldiers? Once our guys accomplish that, the world will be a far better place.
